That would be interesting. I can see why he restricted to sage-support though, to exclude developer discussions (like this one), which for Mathematica would be done in the hall (or mailing list) at WRI's illustrious office building. > > But we are comparing apples with oranges here since Mathematics > newsgroup is moderated, which means the traffic will always be less as > a moderated group is a turn off for many users who are looking for > help (students and others as well) and can't wait for 2-3 days to get > help and wait 2-3 more days for follow up. The Sage mailing lists are also moderated.
